The idea that disasters are warning signs from heaven is usually a lie concocted by the court or the emperor to manipulate ordinary people in order to prevent unrest in the world.

Ignorant people may believe this kind of rhetoric, but the knowledgeable people in the court do not believe it too much.

Nowadays, this method is actually used by aristocratic families to deal with His Majesty Li Er, so the emperor can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, swallowing the bitter fruit himself.

In fact, everyone knows very well in their hearts that the so-called emperor is the son of heaven and can connect heaven and earth. It is just a high-sounding slogan and is pure nonsense!

Because today, His Majesty Li Er is the emperor, and he is the son of God. Tomorrow, someone else becomes the emperor, and everyone else is still the emperor...

Since there can be so many emperors, it means that the emperor is just a high-sounding reason for sitting on that supreme position.

Of course, it doesn't matter whether His Majesty Li Er is the real emperor or not.

There is no need to verify whether this nonsense is true or not. Is it necessary to issue an edict to ask God for forgiveness?

Everyone present only knew that this was a game between the noble family and the emperor.

It's just that neither side can say it openly, it just depends on who can pull it off!

Now Yang Fan is claiming that Cui Fanbo and others have no real evidence, saying that they deliberately let His Majesty Li Er issue the imperial edict to sin against themselves. In fact, it is just speculation.

But no matter what, Yang Fan's appearance today was really impressive.

After all, he was the first person to fly over the imperial city from the sky, so the credibility of Yang Fan's words was much higher.

If a majority of people really support Yang Fan's remarks, according to the Laws of the Tang Dynasty, Cui Fanbo and others have really committed the crime of false accusation and slander.

False accusations and slanders about others are at best an apology, which is no big deal;

But now it is false accusations and slanders against the emperor, which would cause a big fuss. It is not an exaggeration to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan.

Therefore, Yang Fan's words actually have a deterrent effect.

It is simply impossible for Cui Fanbo and others to use this matter to morally kidnap His Majesty Li Er, or even to benefit their own family.

Yang Fan's meaning is obvious. If Cui Fanbo and others do not have real evidence,

I want His Majesty Li Er to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.

We cannot allow His Majesty Li Er to give Cui Fanbo and other officials of aristocratic families a beating without any pain. It will only give them a good reputation and enhance the prestige of their family.

In Yang Fan's opinion, if you want to start, you should be ruthless. After all, you are killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, so kill the chicken that dances the most and is the fattest first.

Yang Fan's meaning is very clear. The Cui family is just this chicken. Just treat this chicken as a meal and see if the monkey can be frightened.

If you are scared, everyone will be happy. If you are not scared, then you have to kill them sooner or later. What difference does it make if you kill them early or later?

As the saying goes, if you keep cutting off, you will inevitably suffer chaos!

Of course, the prerequisite for all this is that Yang Fan also has evidence that Cui Fanbo and the others are lying.

Therefore, the key to their game is to see who can prove that their point of view is correct.

In fact, everyone can see that this is the reason why Yang Fan proposed the bet.

Whoever wins is right!

As a result, the gambling battle between Qinghe Cui and Yang Fan's Zhongyi Marquis became the key.

If Cui Fanbo wins, the prestige of the Cui family in Qinghe will reach unprecedented levels, and even the emperor will no longer be able to suppress it.

If Yang Fan wins, the Cui family of Qinghe will become the "chicken". If this "chicken" is killed, the monkeys will naturally be shocked.

If they lose, the Cui family of Qinghe will be too pitiful, because the Cui family will completely become a tragedy...

However, Yang Fan's words now directly put Cui Fanbo in a difficult position, with no room for turning back.

As long as he dare not accept the bet, as Yang Fan said, everything they say is false accusations and slander.

Cui Fanbo's only way out is to accept Yang Fan's bet and win. Therefore, Cui Fanbo is no longer stable!

Even though Cui Fanbo had his legs broken by His Majesty Li Er's order just now, he still maintained his calm and relaxed character.

Now being forced to go to Liangshan by Yang Fan, Cui Fanbo was completely panicked and said angrily: "Yang Fan, how can you be so vicious? You actually want to uproot my Cui family... Humph, so what if I agree to your offer? How do you want to make a bet?"

"Could it be that if you invented a weird Kongming Lantern, it can really fly to the Heavenly Palace? I really don't believe in that evil..."

Cui Fanbo finally saw that Yang Fan was really bad!

If he dared not agree to the bet, Yang Fan's suggestion that he had framed and slandered him would become a fact, and His Majesty Li Er would probably kill him right now.

The Cui family of Qinghe was completely defeated in this contest, and Cui Fanbo will become the eternal sinner of the Cui family of Qinghe!

Yang Fan, don’t you want to make a bet?

I just want to accompany you!

Yang Fan chuckled, knowing that Cui Fanbo didn't dare not agree.

Since the Cui family has always wanted to cause trouble for Yang Fan, let's solve it once and for all!

Let other aristocratic families stay away from you when they see you in the future, and don't dare to provoke you easily again.

Yang Fan stole a glance at His Majesty Li Er and was a little moved when he saw the emperor, but more worried.

Yang Fan knew in his heart that His Majesty Li Er was afraid that if he could not win the bet, it would only encourage the family's morale and the situation would be out of control.

Yang Fan was also secretly worried that if His Majesty Li Er was too cautious, he might directly stop this bet.

My mother-in-law!

I really hope that His Majesty Li Er, who is so praised as a wise man, will not miss this opportunity.

Opportunities to take down a behemoth like the Cui family in Qinghe don't come easily!

In Yang Fan's opinion, although this bet is not 100% sure, at least he has an 80% winning rate.

If His Majesty Li Er did not dare to take risks, all his plans would be in vain. Fearing that His Majesty Li Er would regret it, Yang Fan quickly said: "I will make a bet for you. The drought in the Guanzhong area has nothing to do with the grievances of students all over the world and has nothing to do with the imperial examination."

It’s even more irrelevant. As for being related to His Majesty, it’s even more irrelevant. Do you dare to bet?”

After listening to what Yang Fan said, Cui Fanbo was determined and asked narrowly: "Haha, just gamble, why don't you dare? I just don't know how Zhongyi Hou wants to gamble? How can we decide the outcome? Do you really want to go to heaven?

Can I ask?"

In his opinion, although he could not provide evidence to prove whether the drought was related to the imperial examination, Yang Fan certainly could not provide evidence whether it was unrelated!

Because this kind of thing is too ethereal.

Is it true, as Yang Fan himself said, that he can really ask people to go to heaven and ask him?

Just the weird Kong Ming Lantern, it's just a fantasy.

Yang Fan said with a smile: "Of course we ordinary people can't go to heaven to ask. If you say that drought is a warning from heaven, then it means that as long as rain comes from the sky to solve the drought, then your words are slander and slander. Do you agree?"

Cui Fanbo did not reply immediately. He thought about it carefully and found no trap in Yang Fan's words, so he nodded and said, "I agree."

Yang Fan said again: "Then, can I understand it this way? As long as your majesty has not issued a sinful edict, but it rains, does that mean that the drought has nothing to do with the imperial examination?"

When His Majesty Li Er heard this, his eyes lit up and he understood Yang Fan's intention.

The invisible roommate Xuanling and others exchanged glances, and seeing their nods, their confidence immediately increased a lot.

This is a good plan to deal with the aristocratic family!

After listening to Yang Fan's explanation, Yu Wenhong smiled coldly. This was simply a trap.

But this Marquis is too naive. Do you really think that none of them can see it?

So he reminded Cui Fanbo: "Mr. Cui, be careful not to be deceived by this kid. God is good at saving lives. This severe drought is just a warning from God to the world."

"Even if Your Majesty does not issue an edict to punish yourself, God will not let the people starve to death. After a period of severe drought, there will still be rain!"

This means that no matter how severe the drought is, it cannot last forever. It will eventually rain.

As long as it rains, doesn't it mean that Yang Fan will win? This is simply a trap, a trap where Yang Fan will definitely win.

You can't say that at that time, Your Majesty can take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, saying that if there is a traitor in the court, God will send a severe drought!

Who is the traitor?

Haha, besides Cui Fanbo and the others, who else is the leader?

This Yang Fan is really disgusting!

Cui Fanbo suddenly woke up, with a cold sweat breaking out on his back, and said displeasedly: "Marquis Zhongyi, don't you think this is too shameless?"

I secretly believed that Yang Fan was so cunning and cunning at such a young age that it would be difficult to deal with him.

If Yu Wenhong hadn't reminded him, he might have gotten into trouble by being careless.

But does Yang Fan really think that no one in his family can see this?

If he hadn't been so angry and worried, he would have been able to tell the difference easily.

However, Cui Fanbo still gratefully gestured towards Yu Wenhong...

As for His Majesty Li Er, although he knew that someone from the aristocratic family might find out, Cui Fanbo might not be fooled.

Now that he was exposed on the spot, he still couldn't hide his disappointment. It seemed that Yang Fan's plan was not that high.

However, as a party involved, Yang Fan was not at all as angry as when someone exposed the plot.

I sighed slightly in my heart and thought to myself that although people from aristocratic families are arrogant, they are not stupid.
To be continued...
